Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

WoodCreek Jr. High was nominated by a campus parent who relocated to Texas and whose children are both diagnosed with PPD-NOS, an autism spectrum disorder. From the moment we received our first communication from the campus, the staff at WoodCreek Jr. High has gone above and beyond, said Barbara Vass, WCJH parent. I want to commend the staff at WCJH for their excellence at communicating with me on everything that the staff is doing with, and working on, for both of my boys to make their time at WCJH successful both academically and socially.
